在vlookup公式中的单元格中使用值

Question

I would like to take the percentile of the db_main!AA:AA but without having to type it.

Basically, I want to have a cell = AA and then use concatenate and "something" to do my percentile. Can anyone explain how to do this. Does it involve using Indirect?

=PERCENTILE(db_main!AA:AA,0.25)

Here is what I tried so far

=PERCENTILE(CONCATENATE("db_main!",INDIRECT("N15",TRUE),":",INDIRECT("N15",TRUE)),0.25)

Answer 1

Your question is still unclear, but the one thing that is immediately clear is that you're misusing INDIRECT .

Let's say that N15 contains the value "AA". To reference "db_main!AA:AA" you can use INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("db_main!",N15,":",N15),TRUE) as your array reference.

You can shorten that to INDIRECT("db_main!"&N15&":"&N15) , since & works for concatenating and INDIRECT defaults to the "A1" style.
